    Please Matt!

    There seems to be the usual British apathy here  :excl:

    I think thats a bit rich...

    I think saying not finding other members down to Apathy is way off the mark (I'm not saying the club isnt apathetic, just this time its more down to other reasons)..

    OK, maybe the comment was a bit off the mark with respect to the members but the British are the most apathetic nation I have ever come across! Always bitching and moaning about something but never prepared to get of their own butts and do something about it and prefer to leave it for someone else.

    Have you never been to the US then?? :unsure: way more apathetic than us...

    and better british than Italian.... or french.... where you are frowned upon unless you complain, loudly and offensively...

    Firstly, there are not that many IS300's in the club...

    Secondly, not everyone wants to modify their car..

    and thirdly, in the US, your insurance premium doesnt change if you modify your car, whereas over here, on most policies you get a big sting for superchargers..

    "If the wings are travelling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter -- and therefore, unsafe."

    "When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash."

    The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in aviation are:

    "I remember when s*x was safe and flying was dangerous."

    "Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we never left one up there!"

    "Flashlights are tubular metal containers kept in a flight bag for the purpose of storing dead batteries."

    "Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to a person on the ground incapable of understanding or doing anything about it."

    "When a flight is proceeding incredibly well, something was forgotten."

    "Just remember, if you crash because of weather, your funeral will be held on a sunny day."

    Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there."

    "You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal."

    As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives, the rescuer sees a bloodied pilot and asks "What happened?". The pilot's reply: "I don't know, I just got here myself!
